The Complete Mystery of Madeleine McCann™

Kate McCann's lawyer Carlos Pinto de Abreu: ''If you were Portuguese this would be enough to put you in prison''

Its been suggested before that maybe all the children - apart from one? - were in one room with a babysitter. Logically it would be the Paynes, theirs being the largest. Which got me thinkin about the monitors. If theirs was two-way, you would be able to talk to the 'nanny' from the table. But then Dianne Webster would know about it. Anyway, to the point of my post, if Jane Tanner had a two-way monitor, there would of been no need for Matt to tell her Evie? was poorly as she would of heard or Russell could of told her. The rest of the table could of heard if that's what was REALLY going on also. But I recall her saying it didn't work too well.Did they have one? Did it work? And two-way? there does seem to be some inferences of people 'coming down',eg Jane after the alarm.

Interesting point. She did go n about fiddling with it and it not working well, and placing it on a shelf. A waiter in police interviews said there were monitors on the table.Diane slept in the living room in the Payne apartment. To leave bedroom for kids?

The Paynes apartment was one floor up, so I don't think they would have placed all the children there together. The others were closer together.

My guess would be that the Paynes monitor worked for them. The adult missing on the previous nights did their famous listening checks outside the other doors, so no need for the others to move from the table.

There is a thread in this debate section called 'Do you believe that the children were really left alone in 5a?'It also has a link I was alluding to re Paulo Rebelo that there was 7 children in one room, but it mentions 5a. I think the Paynes with a nanny more likely - IF they weren't left alone.

Here is a snippet from that exchange I find very interesting: D. Smith:No i am not upset. I just don't to fuel the web ghouls (i have no idea whether you are one of them or not...) who seem obsessedwith what i consider to be the grotesque idea that the mccanns or their friends did away with madeleine. In addition to thefurther distress it must cause the mccanns and their friends on top of the devastating event that started it, I just feel it is acomplete waste of time and energy. That said, however, I had a long briefing with Gerry McCann before I wrote my article andI guess the baby monitor info came from him. I am aware that many discrepancies arose in the portuguese statements throughmisunderstandings of language. And you ought to be aware that there will always be minor discrepancies of fact in statements- failings of memory, interpretation and so on - which are not in themselves sinister or suspicious.unquote

The question asked D Smith was: The couple never mentioned to the PJ that they brought a monitor as well, in all their statements they claim that the Paynes werethe only ones with a baby monitor. Only in April 2008, in the rogatory interviews conducted by Leicestershire Police, this pieceof information appeared. It might seem a small omission, but in the light of possible neglect charges, would have been important.Jane Tanner claims in the rogatory interview that she brought it with her in the evenings and positioned it on a ledge/wall behindher. This was NEVER mentioned to portuguese Police as the released statements show. The question I have is, how did youget this info before the rogatory interviews even took place? I know you have to protect sources, but this seems a very strangeinside knowledge.unquote.

The whole article is well worth reading and very significant in view of the favourable publicity the McCanns have had from this source.

Thanks for that Tigger, will have a read. A waiter said 'walkie talkies' plural were seen on the TABLE! I started this post trying to think that if they HAD had one, Jane would have heard what was going back on in flat - re her sick child. It shows she lied about having one or Matt would not have needed to pass message. If indeed any of that happened.

In the David Smith exchange with unterdenteppichgekehrt.blogspot.co.uk he is quoted as saying "I can't remember the detail of the Smith sighting but surely it was quickly established it was not reliable or significant." I wonder how he feels about that sighting now in light of the Crimewatch appeal. He certainly is very defensive.

Yes Tigger, I remember this article from before, and how incredulous I felt. It was suggested on here I think that Jt would now have a monitor to prove they were'nt negligent. But in NO WAY should Gerry mccann be able to dictate to journalist, or even worse as he has done, the POLICE!!!

Blood and cadaver alerts in the McCanns apartment & hire car are ignored by UK Government & Police as they continue to spend millions of pounds investigating the non-existent abduction.

According to Eddie and Keela, the body of Madeleine McCann lay curled up alone and lifeless behind the sofa in Apartment 5a, clinging to the only thing from which she could derive any comfort; a soft toy called 'Cuddle Cat'.

Kate's book 'madeleine', page 219: "Did they really believe that a dog could smell the ‘odour of death’ three months later from a body that had been so swiftly removed?"

Operation Grange police officers dig for Maddie's body in Praia da Luz which surely damages the search for a 'live Maddie' more than Gonçalo Amaral's book ever did.

Dr Gonçalo Amaral, retired PJ Coordinator: "The English can always present the conclusions to which they themselves arrived in 2007. Because they know, they have the evidence of what happened, they don't need to investigate anything. All this is now a mere show off. When MI5 opens their files, then we will know the truth."

Ex-Met DCI Colin Sutton, who had been to Praia da Luz several times for various newspapers: "The most likely scenario is that Madeleine was stolen to order by slave traders and smuggled into Africa for a rich family who wanted a white child."

Ex-MET DCI Andy Redwood had a "revelation moment" on BBC1's Crimewatch on 14th October 2013 when he announced that Operation Grange had eliminated the Tanner sighting - which opened up the 'window of opportunity', in accordance with their remit, to allow the fake abduction to happen.

Tracey Kandohla: "A McCann pal told The Sun Online: “Some of the savings have been siphoned off from the Find Maddie Fund into a fixed asset account, like a breakaway fund, which financial experts have advised them to do. It can be used for purchases like buying a house or building equipment."

Professor Gerry McCann called for an example to be made of 'trolls'. SKY News reporter Martin Brunt doorstepped Brenda Leyland on 2 October 2014 after she was singled out from a Dossier handed in to Police by McCann supporters. She was then found dead in a Leicester hotel room. Brenda paid the price.
